Chapter 7:

Chapter 7, Dreams of Love

*~*Dream Realm ( Haruhi )*~*

Haruhi opened her eyes and looked around. Everything was decorated in dark reds, blues, and black and styled in an old Victorian fashion. She took in her surroundings and saw that she was in a large canopy bed with thick drapes over the edges and heavy silk sheets and a thick blanket over top. When she moved to sit up, she froze. Moving the blankets slightly, she noticed that she wasn't wearing anything. Where are my clothes?! she panicked, clutching the sheets closer to her. And where the hell am I?

She moved to wrap the sheet around herself, making a long toga and stepped out from behind the drapes of the bed. She shivered when her feet touched a cold floor. Looking down at her feet, she saw that the floor was made of cobblestone and gazing around, it looked like she was in the room of one of those old European castles she read about in history books and fantasy stories. The room had a high ceiling with several hanging candelabras and a large chandelier, each holding lit candles. Across from the bed was a large fireplace with a roaring fire. She guessed that given the temperature of the floor and room, the fire had just been lit mere moments before.

Taking a few tentative steps away from the bed, she looked around some more. There was a large dark wood wardrobe, a table near one of the far walls with two chairs and a set of doors. Haruhi walked towards the table and saw that there were two cups turned upside down on the table and a few covered trays. Holding her makeshift dress shut with one hand, she peaked under the lids carefully. Under one of the lids was a collection of different fruits surrounding a bowl of what looked to be whipped cream, another had some cooked fish on a bed of asparagus and tomatoes with a couple lemon slices, and the last had a couple fillets with some mashed potatoes. Standing next to the table was a small table with a dark green bottle on it in a bucket of ice.

Because the bottle was closed, she couldn't tell what was in it and there was no label to tell her. Giving a soft huff, she continued to look around the room, pausing at the glass doors leading to a balcony. Haruhi slowly walked over to them, missing her reflection as she gazed out through the glass, and opened one of the doors before she walked out onto the large stone balcony. Once out, she felt her breath sucked out of her body. Over the edge of the balcony railing was a perfect view of the setting sun over the sea.

"Oh wow," she muttered.

"I'm glad you approve, my love," a familiar deep voice stated causing her to jump.

When she turned quickly, she felt her breath hitch in her throat. Leaning against the door frame wearing only a set of pants that rested loosely on his hips, was Mori. She felt a blush form on her cheeks as her eyes began to trace over the contours of his chest. She had seen him shirtless before on several occasions due to some of the cosplay the club did, as well as some of the times when the groups activities took them swimming, but as he stood in the fading light of the sun, he seemed to exude a glow. Glancing up at his eyes, she saw something in them that made her heart begin to race. It was a raw emotion etched deep into his steel gray eyes that spoke volumes about what he was thinking. Why does he have that in his eyes? she questioned.

"Um," Haruhi muttered. "Where are we?" And where are my clothes? she continued in her head.

"We are at one of the old castles," he replied calmly. "You wanted to come here, dear love."

"I...I did?"

Mori nodded. "Yes. Are you well? Normally you are not this forgetful. Did I take too much from you?"

"What are you.." Haruhi tried to ask as Mori got closer.

When he was close enough, he gently placed his hand on the side of her neck and she felt a trill run up her spine. As his fingers slid along her throat, going from her pulse point across her clavicle, she felt warmth seep into her body and the area between her legs go damp.

"If you keep making such an enticing scent, my love," Mori groaned, his voice heavy with desire. "I may not be able to hold back again."

Another trill ran up her spine when he spoke and the dampness increased. Mori let out a hungry growl before pulling her to him and slamming his mouth against hers. The speed and strength of his actions caused her to gasp which allowed him to slip his tongue into her mouth to explore and play with hers. She slowly began to respond to his actions and felt him lift her from the ground. Letting out a startled squeak, she wrapped her legs around his waist as he moved back towards the bed.

"Such a tease," Mori taunted. "Given how last night went, one would think you wouldn't be ready so soon."

Haruhi let out a moan when he placed her back on the bed and began kissing down her neck. When he reached the top of her make shift dress, Mori pause only for a moment before he took a piece of the fabric in his mouth and moved it our of the way. Once it was gone, he gazed at her with hungry eyes.

"So lovely," he stated before lowering his head to capture one of her nipples between his teeth.

Haruhi arched up as he did and let out a strangled moan. The mix of a small bit of pain from the bite then the soothing lap of his tongue over the abused area was shocking but exciting. Mori continued this for a few moments before switching to her other breast and slowly sliding his hand to play with the one he just left.

Haruhi felt like she was losing her mind as Mori continued to nibble and suck on her breasts. Tossing her head back and forth, she bit her lip to keep a moan trapped in her throat. She felt the hand that was massaging her breast begin to slide down her chest to her stomach and felt Mori slowly begin kissing back up her chest, pausing at her neck to nibble softly and suck, causing the moan she tried to hold back to slip out. His hand continued south and soon came to the apex of her thighs. She felt him smile against her throat as he slid his fingers over her wet nether lips.

"So wet, my love," he stated, sliding a couple of his fingers along her slit. "So enticing..."

He slowly began slipping one finger into her wet channel and began to move it slowly in and out. The moans she had tried to keep in, slipped out and she felt herself move her legs a bit farther apart, inviting Mori to continue and do more. She felt his kisses continue up to her lips before Mori kissed her again with such a passion that made her heart stutter. She soon felt him add another finger and arced again, crying out as she came. It continued like this for a few more moments until she was writhing in pleasure below him.

Panting slightly, she opened her eyes to see Mori's gray irises slowly becoming crimson. She felt him move slightly, and the rustle of fabric, before he mas leaning over her and felt something nudging against her entrance. Her eyes went wide as she looked at Mori.

"It's all right my love," he soothed with a kiss. "It won't hurt. Not like last time."

She felt herself stretching as he pushed in and arced up a bit, not realizing that action helped him. He let out a low groan and came to a halt once he was fully sheathed inside her. She whimpered slightly when he fully came to a stop. After a few moments, Haruhi felt Mori begin to move slowly. She could tell that he kept a slow pace for her sake since he was much large than she was and therefore, if he went any faster before she was ready, Mori would end up hurting her.

"Ta...Takashi..." she whimpered. "Please..."

She felt him pause then slightly begin to speed up slightly before lifting her hips just enough to give him a different angle. Haruhi felt him hitting something deep inside her body and came again with a sharp cry. She heard Mori let out a groan and felt him shift again so that she was now sitting in his lap and thus much deeper inside her than before. As he began moving again, she dug her nails into his shoulders as she felt herself being pushed to another peak. Once she reached it, she felt Mori bite into her shoulder but instead of pain, she felt nothing but euphoria and came again. As he held her still with his mouth on her shoulder, Haruhi felt Mori speed up a bit more before she felt him pulsing inside of her as he came with a low groan.

Mori pulled back a bit and lapped up the loose blood on her shoulder before kissing the area he bit. Haruhi rested her head on his shoulder panting heavily. She had no words to describe what she was feeling. All she could do was sit on Mori's lap, him still deep inside of her, trying to regain her breath. She felt Mori lean back just enough to see her face before giving her a kiss filled with love.

"I believe we should bathe and dress," he spoke with a smile. "Then we can eat and walk along the water."

Haruhi blushed but nodded in agreement. He kissed her again before pulling out of her, causing her to whimper at the loss, then stand and walk towards a door to the side of the bed. He glanced over at her and smiled. She could tell that she was still blushing as she watched his body move. He's like a living piece of art, she thought with a darkening blush. She saw his amused smile before she got up and followed him. As he opened the door, he kissed her shoulder and...

*~*Dream End ( Haruhi )*~*

Haruhi bolted up out of bed panting slightly. The force of her momentum has sent a slumbering Qurdox from her chest to the foot of her bed with a startled yelp.

"Are you all right, little one? " she head him ask.

"Yeah..." she mumbled. "Just a dream...I think...it felt so real...but I know it wasn't a memory..."

Qurdox tilted his head to the side. "Interesting. Given how fast your heart is beating, it was either something terrifying or enticing."

Haruhi's face lit up with a bright blush and quickly ran into her bathroom. I am guessing it was the latter, Qurdox chuckled as his charge ran from the room. If it was terrifying, she would have told me.

*~*In an estate not that far away*~*

*~*Dream Realm ( Mori )*~*

Mori looked around and instantly recognized the room he was in. The stone walls and tapestries decorating them were identical to the ones he saw when he was younger. The castle he was currently in was one that was renovated into a hotel that catered to Vampires. The windows had anti-UV filament in them, much like the stuff used to make sunglasses. His mother and father had brought him and Satoshi there once just before he started junior high. Their stay at the time had been the whole summer because that was the year he and Mitsukuni had to show their control. The staff were all fully acceptable humans but only 30 out of the 420 staff were actual Donors. The test was to see if they could distinguish Donors from actual people and if they could keep their hunger in check.

He and Mitsukuni had passed brilliantly even though they hadn't seen each other the entire time they were there. He found out later that they were purposely placed in opposite ends of the hotel and served with different people so that they couldn't inadvertently give the other an edge. The test had concluded two weeks before school started up again and they used that time to reform their bonds with each other and talk about the test.

Looking around him now, he could see that the room he was standing in was the bathroom of the same room he had when he was first there. He faintly heard movement in the main room and walked out to investigate. He froze when he saw brunette hair. That can't be... he thought in shock. That just can't be. Quietly he made his way around the room to get a look that the persons face. He faintly caught brown eyes but before he could get a better look, the person looked towards the glass doors.

Mori felt his heart pause then begin pounding as he saw the reflection in the glass. Haruhi...

He looked her over and felt some blood rush to his cheeks and down below his waist as he noticed that she was only wrapped up in the sheets from the bed. He quickly looked at himself and saw that he was only wearing a pair of black slacks. He took a breath and froze once again. It was faint but there was traces of blood and sex in the air and his eyes quickly flashed back to Haruhi. Using his heightened eyesight, he faintly saw a ring of thorns tattooed around her neck and on her right shoulder saw a blooming deep blue rose.

He watched as she slowly made her way to the balcony to watch the sun set over the ocean and smiled at her breathless sigh. So I have claimed her as my bride, he thought as he watched the rose on her shoulder continue to bloom. Once that rose is completely in bloom, it will mean that she is ready to carry. To have her as mine...that would be heaven...

He smiled again when he heard her quiet exclamation and silently went to the door way. "I'm glad you approve, my love," he stated.

Mori held himself from laughing as she jumped and turned to face him, her brown eyes wide with shock. He felt himself smile as he saw her eyes graze over his torso and faintly caught the scent of her arousal on the sea breeze. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as she continued to trace his body with her eyes. He heard her breath catch when their eyes met and knew that she could see the raw desire in his eyes.

He smiled softly at her question and could tell there was another on her mind but didn't answer it as she hadn't asked aloud.

"We are at one of the old castles," he answered. "You wanted to come here, dear love." Where did I get that? he asked mentally. It must be because of my rose on her shoulder.

He saw her tilt her head in confusion as she asked for clarification and felt worry seep into him. "Yes. Are you well? Normally you aren't this forgetful. Did I take too much?"

He slowly moved towards her and reached out to feel her pulse. He heard her fearful question but it trailed off the moment his fingers touched the ring of thorns. The moment his fingers touched her warm neck, he felt her pulse begin to race. He slowly trailed his finger tips along the thorns admiring their simplicity and beauty. He once saw the ring of thorns around his fathers neck when they were training for one of his upcoming Kendo tournaments and his father had told him that his mother had a ring similar around hers when asked. His father had also told him that when he found his bride, she would wear a ring of thorns around her neck and, if his bride was vampire, he would too.

Mori was brought out of his musing when a sweet scent filtered into his nose and let out a groan. "If you keep making such an enticing scent, I won't be able to hold back again."

He felt her shiver and the scent increased thus making him lose his already strained grip on his control. Pulling her to him, Mori claimed her lips with his and poured all of his desire, passion and lust into that kiss. He felt her gasp and took the impromptu invitation and slid his tongue into her mouth. He held back a groan as her taste washed over his tongue. He continued his exploration and faintly felt her mimic his actions. As he felt her steadily react stronger, he picked her up and held her to his chest. She let out a cute squeak and wrapped her legs around his waist and felt the evidence of her arousal pressed against his stomach.

"Such a tease," he taunted, holding her close as he went to the bed, her folds sliding against his abs. "Given how last night went, one would think you wouldn't be ready so soon."

Once he had her on the bed, he began to kiss down her neck causing her to moan softly. Mori slowly trailed his kisses down to her chest and almost growled at the sheet she was still wearing. Taking a piece of the fabric into his mouth, he moved it aside before doing the same to the other piece before pulling back to look at her laid bare before his eyes.

"So lovely," Mori uttered before slowly lowering his head to take one of her rosy peaks into his mouth.

He felt Haruhi arc into him and let out a small cry as he bit the soft tissue. He soothed the bite with his tongue and began to suck gently. Mori continued to lick and suck on her breast for a few more moments before turning to its neglected twin. Every now and then, he would hear Haruhi let out little cries and whimpers, thus fueling him to continue. He slowly brought his hand up to cup the breast he wasn't working on and began to massage it gently, twisting her nipple between his fingers every so often. Mori would glance up now and then to see her reactions to what he was doing and could tell that Haruhi has trying to hold back her cries when he nipped her breast softly.

Mori felt his mind swimming as the scent of her desire swirled around the room and slowly brought the hand massaging her breast to her stomach. He let his hand linger there for a moment, wondering how she would look carrying his child before continuing on. He felt the soft skin of her most private place and slid a couple fingers between her thighs, feeling the wetness there. He slowly kissed his way back up her chest to her neck and nibbled the nearly bloomed rose there. He ran his fingers against her entrance a few times before smiling against her neck.

"So wet, my love," he ground out. "So...enticing..."

Ever so slowly, Mori began to slide one of his fingers into her opening and slowly began to slide it in and out. He felt her shiver slightly as a moan escaped her mouth and smiled as she spread her legs, allowing him more room. He slowly added another finger and another as he continued to work her already dripping core thus making her arc again as she came. As he continued to glide his fingers in and out of her wet channel, he felt his own desire strain against the confines of the slacks he was wearing. He was rock hard and was ready to sheath himself inside her clenching body. Mori kissed up her neck, along her jaw and finally reclaimed her lips in a passion filled kiss. He couldn't hold back any more, he had to have her...now.

He pulled back from the kiss and saw that his eyes were turning crimson in the reflection of her eyes. He couldn't hold back any longer. As Mori shifted to get his slacks off and position himself at her entrance, he saw the rose on Haruhi's shoulder was completely bloomed and smiled softly. He felt her tense in fear as he pushed against her opening.

"It's all right, my love," he said in a soothing voice. "It won't hurt. Not like last time." Meaning we have done this before, he thought quietly. Is this a dream or a vision of what may be? If this is only a dream, I want to remain asleep; if this is a vison, how do I make it reality?

Mori began to slowly push into her, feeling her tense slightly as her body began to accept him. He knew it had to hurt a little since she was so small and he was fairly well endowed for his age. He felt Haruhi arc slightly as he seemed to brush a particularly sensitive spot in her body, unwittingly taking the rest of him inside of her. Mori stilled to allow her body adjust to him and let out a low grown as he felt her heat wrap around his member. Taking a few quiet breaths to calm himself so that he didn't hurt her or cum too soon, he watched her as she became more accustomed to him being inside of her. He heard Haruhi let out a little whimper and smiled. He slowly pulled back so that just the tip of him was inside and just as slowly, pushed back in. He continued like this for a few moments to allow her to get used to him and bring her back to the peaks of pleasure. As he moved, he felt Haruhi slightly meet his thrusts and had to keep a groan from escaping.

"Ta-Takashi..." Haruhi whimpered. "Please..."

Mori nearly felt his heart stop when she used his given name instead of his nickname and smiled. Giving into her unspoken plea, Mori began to speed up slightly and adjusted so that he could hold her hips a few inches from the bed, giving him a deeper angle. He began to thrust a little harder into her as she cried out and felt her walls clench around him causing him to groan. Wrapping his arms under her, Mori pulled her up so that she was now to his chest and driving deeper into her. In response, he felt her dig her nails into his shoulders as her walls began to quiver again. Just as she was about to cum, Mori sank his fangs into her neck which sent her over the edge into ecstasy. He slowly began to swallow the blood that poured into his mouth as she continued to cum and sped up as he felt his release fast approaching. With a few more thrusts, he felt his release hit and came deep inside of her. He held her close to him and tasted the change in her blood, she was now pregnant which meant he could not take blood from her until she gave birth.

Retracting his fangs and pulling back, he saw a small rose bud next to her fully bloomed one and smiled. Mori then began to lick up the loose blood from her shoulder before kissing both roses on her shoulder. He felt Haruhi lay her head on his shoulder as she tried to regain her breath and his smile grew slightly. He pulled back and when she looked at him, gave her a kiss filled with all of his love for her and their unborn child now growing in her womb. Looking at her face he smiled once again.

"We should bathe and dress," he spoke grinning. "Then we can eat and walk along the water."

He watched as a blush went across her face as she nodded. Kissing her once more, he pulled his now softened member out of her, faintly catching her near silent whimper, and began to walk towards the bathroom again. When he didn't hear movement, he turned and saw Haruhi staring at him and smiled. The blush on her face got a bit darker and he let out a quiet but amused laugh before she rose to follow him. What were you thinking just now Haruhi? he wondered. Whatever it was, I'm sure it was pleasant given your blush. He let her walk in front of him and opened the door to the modernized bathroom, kissing her shoulder softly.

"I love you, my Haruhi," he whispered in her ear. "I will always love you."

*~*Dream End ( Mori )*~*

Mori opened his eyes and saw the ceiling of his room. He let out an irritated sigh as the alarm clock went off. Rolling over, he turned it off and sat up. Running a hand down his face he sighed before standing and heading to take a shower. A dream? he thought slightly irritated as the warm water ran down his body. Or a vision induced by the small bit of blood I took in when Haruhi cut her finger? Either is likely but from what I have heard and read about those who use magic, their dreams are either a glimpse into the future or a message pertaining to the past. If that was a vision, I hope it is true. I would love to have her as my bride and I know my parents would accept the match. Not because of her power but because of who she is.

Once he was completely clean, he went back to his room and got dressed for his morning workout with his father and brother. He knew, deep down, that what he saw was possible, he just had to figure out how to do it without scaring Haruhi.
